story from Dec 29, 2012, titled New York newspaper to list more gun permit holders after uproar.
In it, WTAX-AM Springfield reports that:

A suburban New York newspaper that sparked an uproar among gun enthusiasts by publishing names and addresses of residents holding pistol permits is now planning to publish even more identities of permit-toting locals.

<quoted text>In New York the Right to own pertains only to rifles and shotguns. Handguns are a Permit Only item even for your private dwelling. That is the direct result of The Sullivan Act of 1911. A law sponsored by the biggest crook in the State to make sure that only HIS people were given the permits.

Correct, which means these names on the list published by the paper could most likely be determined democrats and social elites, not THE PEOPLE.

<quoted text>I dont see anywhere to keep or bear in the 2A refers to the location own, open or concealed. I consider it my decision how my weapon will be carried and where I keep it.The interpretation of the 2A straight forward and requires no compromises.

When a little girl comes up from the apple orchard bearing a basket of freshly picked apples, these apples are typically not concealed under her skirt.

People have a right to keep and bear arms, which means that people may bear these arms on their hips or from shoulder slings. Concealment of firearms is different in that it is regulated as state defined privilege. States that choose to not license but allow concealed carry privileges without permitting have in fact made the decision which was the state's authority to do so. In other words, simply because a state chooses to not use a scheme of permitting a privilege, this does not convert the privilege into a right.

Why in the world would you compare concealing a firearm to a little girl carrying apples? The two are completely unrelated.

Bearing arms is carrying arms. The Second Amendment doesnt make a distinction on the method of carriage.

There is no mention of hips, shoulders, slings or anything else. Why do you persist bearing arms is open carry?

Comparing carrying apples to guns??? If you want to let your State infringe on your right to bear carry open or concealed thats up to you. Ill continue to carry open or concealed whenever I want depending on my location and surroundings.

<quoted text>It's real simple, open carry is a right, concealed carry is a state regulated privilege.

Go to New York and openly carry a handgun. See how fast you have an entourage of cops taking that handgun away from you. In New York ALL handguns must be registered to the person owning them and there are different levels of permit. Carry in New York is concealed IF you are issued a permit. Explain your Rights to them as they disarm you and take said handgun from you never to be seen again. You would also be taken into custody and probably released on a high dollar amount bond. The pistol is history at the very least and if they feel especially inclined you may be charged with a felony giving you a home in a State Prison for a couple of years. Let me know how you make out with that....
